Terminology
is chapter provides denitions and descriptions for all of the Forte-specic terms used in
this manual. Some of the terms are also used by other manufacturers.
Since there are no standard denitions for some of these terms, they are described here to
avoid confusion. All of these terms appear with the rst letter capitalized as proper nouns in
this manual to make it easy to distinguish between the generic term and the Forte-specic
term.
In addition to the terms below, and to avoid confusion, any Forte-specic feature, connector
or control will have the rst letter capitalized to distinguish it from the generic term.
Program
A Program is an instrument sound that plays on a MIDI
channel. e sound of each Program can be modied by
parameters that are assigned to the controllers (Sliders,
Switch Buttons, Mod Wheel, and Pedals).
See Ch. 6 Program Mode for more information on
Programs.
Multi
A Multi allows up to 16 instrument sounds (Programs) to be
played from the keyboard at once. A Multi has a minimum
of 4 Zones, each with its own keyboard range, Program,
MIDI channel, and controller assignments.
See Multi Mode on Ch. 10 Multi Mode for more
information on Multis.
